What is wrong with people! Don`t people get it! I don`t like for people to touch Adia, especially perfect strangers. And it`s pretty bad when I see someone coming toward me when I know they`re coming directly for the baby and I grab her hands so people won`t touch them and they STILL DON`T get the hint. Wouldn`t you think if you were about to grab the hand of someone`s baby and they pulled away that that would be a pretty good indication Not to touch their baby!? Well, evedently some, or should I say, most people are pretty oblivious, or just plain Stupid! I have had a hard time being just plain mean and saying "please don`t touch her", but I guess I`m just going to have to do that. I don`t know why that is so hard to do. It`s like I`m frozen for a split second and then before I know it someone has pulled a quick one and then I immediately grab the hand sanitizer. I know I sound like a complete lunatic! This is just driving me nuts today!

Things are going pretty well today. I decided not to wean Adia. We both were not ready and her pediatrician said it wasn`t a good idea right now. She wouldn`t hardly take anything out of a bottle and even though she is eating baby food well, she still needs her milk. It was hard getting my milk supply back up, but it didn`t take too long, about a week.Maybe a little less. But when you`re worrying over whether or not your baby is getting enough to eat, a week seems like forever! I consulted with the lactation consultant about the pain meds and she said it should be fine. I usually only have to take it once or twice a day. I wish I didn`t have to take it at all, but at least it makes me feel better and that`s better for everyone in my house! I am still believing that God will completely heal my body.You just wait and see! Sidney is going to turn sixteen on Sat. I can`t believe it. How does the time go by so fast? I am also involved with the Down syndrome guild here and we are busy getting things ready for the Buddy Walk which will take place Oct.4th. It will be Adia`s very first Buddy Walk. Oh my gosh there`s a lot to do!

Sounds like ur a busy women...I am also trying to get things done for the buddy walk, sponsors and pledges...I know that Kimber was allergic to milk so Steph had to put her on a subsitute, calcuim magnisuim, so she does not drink any milk and just eats a normal diet, lots of veggies she loves her veggies and meat and fruit..She also gives her a multi vit. and fish oil chewy things..She is doing ok on all of this she has slowed down on growth but still is gaining weight but still is on the typical growth chart at the doctors..Good luck with ur buddy walk stuff we will have to exchange pictures....Have a great night and week..Love and Hugz Vic
I`m feeling really overwhelmed and torn today. I am weaning Adia and it is really hard! Not for her, but for me. I am weaning her because this DAMN fibromyalgia is kicking my butt and I need to be able to take paind medication when I need it. In my mind I know it`s o.k to wean her now because she`s seven months old and she`s eating baby food well and she`s taking formula and I know she`s gotton all of the important stuff she needed from me, for some reason I feel like I`m failing her. I have this thing in my mind that if I don`t admit that I have fibro, then it won`t be there. Even though it has changed my life comepletely. I can`t push myself like I could, I`m wore out, my body hurts, and I HATE IT! I don`t want to be this way. I can`t keep trying to push myself through it either. I can`t be a good mom when I`m in pain. I keep trying to tell myself it`s ok, but my heart isn`t listening. I`m just having a crappy day!

I understand about the weaning thing I nursed my youngest who is now 7 for a little over a year but my fibro and everything was not that bad then, be proud and feel good about doing it for 7 months I give you alot of praise for that knowing how the fibro pain can get to you and I hate it to its so hard just do the best you can and also take care of you and you are not failing her your a great Mom and yes it is hard sometimes to be a good mom when your in pain but it sounds like you are very stong but you do need to get back on your pain meds to help you with the pain..so you can be the Best Mom you can Be thats all we can do as Mothers is know we do the Best we can .. my thoughts and prayers are with you and little Angel.. hugs, Jody

Do you know why your so pertective??..I know that we have to be very carefule with Kimber but the Doc says there are more germs that she breaths that what she gets from contact..I am not saying that you don't have a good reason to be carefull but it sounds to me that if your going to be this way you should also put a mask on her when you go out..People just adore these babies and want to love on them because they are so loving and kind kids...I am not saying that your wrong in anyways..We panic too when someone around us are coughing we will got turn around and go the other way..Maybe someday we can quit this but for now it is for these kid's health and that matters alot..You might have to find a babysitter when you go out aleaveate some of your fear...Just a thought...Hugz Vic
